'I love you,' reads Kate Cassidy's caption in her first TikTok since Liam Payne's death.
The former One Direction member died on October 16 at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires.
Payne had been in Argentina for the concert of former bandmate Niall Horan, who played in the South American capital on October 2.

The 31-year-old had been staying with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, before she returned to the US two days before his death.
Police confirmed in the aftermath of the incident that they were called to the hotel over reports of an 'aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol'.
Since his death, thousands of his adoring fans have paid tributes both online and at a memorial set up for him outside the four-star hotel.
Now, Cassidy has joined in with posting her own tribute - a one-minute-29-second video of intimate moments she had shared with Payne.
It shows the two messing around, holding hands, kissing and affectionately holding each other, and even a card that Payne wrote to Cassidy that read 'always be together I love you Cookieee'.
But it isn't the first time Cassidy has broken her silence, taking to social media back in October she wrote on her Instagram Story: "I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days have felt real.
"I ask and pray that you'll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private."
Taking to social media, fans have commented on Cassidy's tribute montage. One person on Twitter wrote: "It's truly heartbreaking to hear about the passing of Liam Payne and to see the impact it has had on those who loved him, particularly his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
"Her heartfelt tribute is a testament to the depth of their love and the pain of losing him."
While another typed: "The fact that they were supposed to be married by next year is heart breaking."
While commenting on her TikTok, another user said: "Please Kate, never delete your videos with Liam or listen to the bad comments. Thanks to you, for many of us, Payno's last moments were with you and they are in those videos."
"Kate your so strong dw he’s watching you from heaven and smiling at all your memories and watching you go forward maybe without him physically but he’s always there for you," added another.
